Former Gogglebox star Reverend Kate Bottley has announced the tragic death of her mother. The 47-year-old shared the news on social media days after she asked her followers to pray for her mum and family after they'd received "scary" health news.
Taking to Twitter and Instagram on Monday (January 23) with a touching tribute to her mum alongside two pictures, one of them together when she was a young girl and another more recent image, Kate penned: "She really was a smasher," she wrote. "May the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace and rise in glory."
She went on: "And we'll take all the prayers, mass intentions and general positive thoughts we can get, thanks." Kate then added: "(Also FYI Dry January is cancelled, she bloody loved a Bacardi and Coke)."
